2001 Mazda Tribute

Pros: Sporty look, power

Cons: Gear shifter, no door lock button on passenger side

The Bottom Line: Great SUV for the price. It has tons of power. It looks and drives great. You would spend a lot more going with some of the other SUVs.

Review: We ordered a Mazda Tribute in January because we wanted specific options that they did not have on the lot. We were warned that a factory order was running at about 3 months. Our lease was up in June so we had plenty of time. It ended up coming in at...

Pros: classy looking, very roomy, good sound system, handles well, good gas mileage.

Cons: no passenger side lock button, very noisy after about 60 mph, stereo is unpredictable sometimes.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Mazda Tribute. For what I paid ($7,800 with 84,000 miles on it) I am extremely pleased with what I get from my vehicle.

Review: I bought my Tribute because I wanted a vehicle with good fuel mileage, but bigger than the Honda Accord I had been driving. I drive on I40 with lots of tractor trailers, and also live in the boonies so I wanted to be a little higher off the ground. ...

Pros: Price, power, efficient

Cons: Attention to detail: mirror noise, gear shifter

Review: Having had a Mazda MPV and needing a vehicle that was used half the time on northern highways and gravel roads with ice and snow, and half the time in the city with the need for safety and good fuel economy I was looking for 4WD and a smaller footprint...

Pros: Many great price and quality

Cons: wife is angry I wont let her have it

Review: I recently bought a Mazda Tribute in Delray Beach Fl. I love this truck and cant believe the bargain price. The S U V I bought was the DX V6 model with 4 wheel drive. My total price with a 1,600. trade in was 21,000. Hard to believe I was able to buy a...

Pros: Comfortable, Powerful, Smooth Ride, Roomy

Cons: gas mileage

The Bottom Line: I love my zoom zoom. It drives like a car around town, but it is very safe to ride up to the mountain in bad conditions.

Review: My husband and I (with our chocolate lab) love our 2001 Mazda Tribute. It is a 4WD SUV that
drives more like a car. It is not built on a truck frame, but rather a frame designed for this SUV (meaning
it is safer.) The Tribute is a V6, making it...

Pros: Stylish, eye-catching, affordable SUV, Good performance,"peppy"

Cons: Poor gas mileage, loud road noise, shifter too long and interferes with radio

The Bottom Line: The Mazda Tribute will likely be the Motor Trend SUV of the Year!! I recommend it to anyone looking for a affordable SUV.

Review: The 2001 Mazda Tribute 2WD V6-LE is a very stylish SUV. I enjoy the two-toned paint choices. The performance of mine has been outstanding with the 3.0 liter V-6 engine. Gas mileage has been less than satisfactory at 17-20 MPG combined. Road noise is...

Pros: Fast, quick, nimble, well-laid-out interior

Cons: Mazda totally underestimated the demand for higher levels of trim.

Review: We were looking for a small SUV with 4x4 and some luxury. We looked at the RAV4 and CR/V, then found out the Escape/Tribute would be out in the summer of 2000.

I'm glad we waited. We bought a Tribute ES with Luxury, Towing and...

Pros: Good looking and functional at a pretty good price.

Cons: Can't find one, no discounts or incentives.

The Bottom Line: I'd be driving one if I could have located one configured like I wanted it, but I'm not waiting forever, nor will I pay sticker for ANY vehicle.

Review: This is just what I wanted, however, when you can't get one configured the way you want and the sticker price is in stone - forget it. Looks great, drives very nicely and it's practical. I've looked at every dealer within 150 miles and can't find the...

Pros: power and handling

Cons: seating,tries

Review: I purchased a tribute lx 4x4 with sunroof tow package and abs/side airbag. I was a little concerned about ford and the firestone tires but after driving it I loved it. I had a hard time finding one for I am impatient and could not wait 8-10 weeks. I...

Pros: 200hp, looks great, 4wd and great ride

Cons: Come on Mazda, give a full sized spare!

The Bottom Line: If you need / want a capable 4WD SUV that has quality, good looks, power and fuel economy, and don't want to pay more than $23,000 loaded get this.

Review: I have:

2002 ES 4WD Glacier Metallic
Options: Everything except moonroof
Price Paid: After factory rebates I paid $22,271+tax and license (forget 0% interest for 24 months)

First drive -- the drive home. 87 miles at...
